NEW ZEALAND (september 2015)

Last week, I spent a blissful 5 days staying with my Grandparents in one of the wine regions of New Zealand. My week was spent visiting and revisiting the same op-shops (thrift stores) multiple times, reading frivolous 70s romance novels collected on my numerous trips to aforementioned op shops, drinking an average of 2.2 cup of black coffee each day, and listening to Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald on vinyl with my Granny, while she told me thrilling stories about her childhood.

The trip acted as a detox from technology and online life for me as my Grandparents don't have wifi. I was only able to acquire brief snippets of internet on our daily walk to the supermarket. I found I had so much time to read without the distraction of endless scrolling through unnecessary articles and random tumblr pages. I found I had more opportunities to connect with people and learn about the people closest to me. I'm not saying I am planning on extracting myself from all internet presence, but I plan to definitely cut down on the excessive use of technology. And spend more time with the people I love doing the things I love

CHAPEL STREET

I love Chapel street.

It's honestly one of my favorite places in Melbourne. For one the shopping is amazing, from small little boutiques to big name chain brands like Topshop. The surrounding streets are adorable and you can find the cutest little cafes and eerily cool walls covered in graffiti. 

This past weekend I went to Chapel street with a friend, with the sole purpose of seeking out Nutrition Bar, which sells the most amazing smoothie bowls. We both had the peanut butter bowls and they did not disappoint. 

We sat in chairs by the window and spent ages just watching everyone passing, and finding style inspiration. 

I spent way to much money on a pressed juice (which was amazing) and honestly had such a great day, so here are some pictures to commemorate it.

Super sorry there was no post last week, I was really lazy and feel really bad about it. 

So here is a little update on whats happening and what has already happened.

So next week I have work experience. I am working in the city and get a lunch break so you can expect some pictures from that. (hopefully). 

I am so excited but also really nervous.

Last Saturday I went out exploring Fitzroy with a friend. We looked at tonnes of vintage clothing, ate good food and drank lots of coffee. It was a really nice day and I had loads of laughs.

I also got very excited about using a payphone for the fist time.

small things amuse small minds.

So this blog post was a kind of rambled stream of thoughts, but I hope you enjoyed xx

RED, WHITE & BLUE

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been feeling a bit brain-dead recently.

Luckily that was all fixed by a relaxing and rejuvenating week on and island in sunny Malaysia. 

I am back now and motivated to post as much as possible. I took loads of video footage in Malaysia so you can expect to see a video on my youtube soon!

In the meantime I thought I would share some photos from when I went to Chapel street with some friends. We went to the incredible Soda Rock diner. The food was amazing and the people were so friendly. It's all retro themed and I loved it! You can expect to see these photos on my Instagram very soon...

CITY SLICKERS

hey everyone,

Last Friday I had no school, so I went exploring in the city with two of my friends. I am still getting used to Melbourne and it was really fun to just wander around. We ended up getting lost a few times due to my horrid sense of direction but I think it made it even more fun!

so here are some photos I took on the day:
